Blatten Flattened – But That’s Just the uhm.. Warmup

I posted earlier today about a Swiss Alps glacier collapse that wiped out the village of Blatten.
An early evacuation spared many casualties, but this new report points out that the glacier is only a small part of the larger mountain side that has been destabilizing for some time.
Video contains some time lapses that are eye-popping and somewhat terrifying. It appears a much larger event is imminent.

  1. I confess my sisters and I have developed a philosophy that [old] people should be able to decide how they (OK, we) want to go, so I can’t help but think that the “missing” person was somebody who chose that dying in the village was preferable to living outside of it.
